Which electric pressure washer? There should be a sticky

**SameGuy** · 03-10-2015, 03:02 PM

That's what I got. Haven't used it yet. The only comment I can make is it seems AR uses proprietary connections for the HP hose at both ends, making the use of universal or upgrade replacement parts from third parties tricky or impossible. I was hoping to replace the hose (I hate the hoses on ALL cheap PWs) with a Flexzilla, but it seems I won't bother with the added expense of adapters, nor the added hassle.

Well, after talking a little more with another member here, I decided to go with the smaller AR112 (1600psi) model instead of the twice as expensive AR390SS (2000psi) model.

Was wondering if this Foam Cannon will be the right fit?

Thanks in advance!

Bought it (390ss) still happy with it, I'd but it again.

I bought the AR Blue 1600psi four months ago when I opened my shop full time.
We use it daily, pretty much 6-7 days per week and have to say I'm more than pleased with it.
I'm also a bit shocked that it's still running, when I bought it I hoped to get 2-3 months out of it but I got more.

The only problem I have is the pressure hose that came with the unit.
I bought a 25 foot extension hose which holds up well but the hose that is needed for the washer isn't the best, I had to replace it twice in four months , not too big of a deal being it's only cost $16.00.
I keep a spare hose to make sure I'm ready for the next break.

A rock solid pressure washer at a low cost.

Thanks in advance!

I think you can use any MTM cannon as long as you have this adapter-- AR Foamer Cannon Adapter

Ace Hardware had the AR112 on sale last month of $80 and now I'm kicking myself for not jumping on it.

i'm so close to getting a 3000, finally. i don't see a real downside to that unit.

I have an spx3000 and a new unused Karcher k5.740. Cant wait for this crap weather to pass so I can fire it up!

Just picked up the AR Blue 383SS on Amazon for $175 with free shipping. Now I need to figure out how to get the Ar Foam Cannon to work properly

Let us know how the MTM works on this PW. I'm looking at it as well. Does this unit use proprietary connections for the hoses like the previous generations? Trying to decide between this, the 390SS and a Karcher K5.740.
